Open Clusters

Nothing fancy here, just going back to basics with a series of single exposure, uncalibrated tripod-monted shots of a beautiful sky, facing south over Lower Mazinaw Lake from Main Beach. The open star clusters Messier 7 (the Ptolemy Cluster, lower left) and Messier 6 (the Butterfly Cluster, upper right), located in the constellation Sagittarius, make a pretty pair. The "Cat's Eyes" at the lower right are the stinger in the tail of the nearby constellation Scorpius, the scorpion.
